[_Turthcr Part-ailjri relati-ve to the late Mr, 

 y^mfi Lickbarrow, luhofe death "was noticed in 

 cur ALi^ac:me fir Auguji. Mr. James Lick- 

 barrow was a man not more diftinguifh'd by 

 ingenuity than by probity and induftty. He 

 was a native of tlie parilh of Sedbergh, a 

 fmall town in Vorklhire, on the confines of 

 Weftmoreland. By birth a (Quaker, he was 

 prevented from receiving a fuitable education 

 by the poverty of his parents and the dif- 

 lance of his refidence from any feminary be- 

 longing to his friends. Thefe difadvantages, 

 however, did not hinder him from acquiring 

 a fund of ufefiil and general knowledge, com- 

 paratively at an early period ; for at the age 

 of twenty he became a felf taught affift^nt in 

 an academy at Kendal, eftablilhed by the fo- 

 ciety of which he was a member. In this 

 fituation, befides difcharging the duties of 

 his ofiice with exemplary care, he ftudied dif- 

 ferent branches of the mathematics with fuc- 

 ccfs, and cultivated a tafle for Englilh litera- 

 ture, particularly poetry and fpeculative phi- 

 Icfophy. But his leifure was not devoted 

 entirely to intelledual pleafures and literary 

 pur.fuitsj for the narrownefs of his fortune 

 compelled him to think ferioufly of improv- 

 ing his conditii'n by produdive labour. Hit 

 mornings and evenings, therefore were dedi- 

 cated in a great meafure to mechanical ern- 

 ployments. But his attention was principally 

 turned to engraving cyphers on fteel feals ; 

 and his pr.ofi^iency in this art foon placed 

 him, in the opinion of good judges, on at 

 leaft in equality with the be!> ircifts of tiie 

 kind out of the metropolis. Were virtuous 

 exertions always crowned with fuccefs, Mr. 

 Lickb.irrow would foon have realized a com« 

 petency fufficrent to anfwer his moderate de- 

 mands ; but after he became mafter of a fa. 

 mily, domeftic calamities of the mod afflift- 

 ing nature quickly confumed the fruits of his 

 diligence and frugality, ftripping him of 



erery
